Overpopulated, doing the same stuff everyone else is doing, and STILL CAN'T FIND A TEAM!
You've changed what he said entirely. He was saying "red means server load" and "red does not mean the server is in danger of bad things happening". (e.g. monumental lag, etc.)
|
Well that was the meaning I got from it. I did ask how it wasn't a contradiction giving him a chance to reword it but he just seemed to be talking about an entire different subject so I gave up on it. :P

Your the ones attacking me in my topic and if you don't like the conversation here I'm not forcing you to stay. Just walk away or stay and try to actually have a civil conversation. It's your choice. |

Logged onto Freedom trying to do a Renault SF. I poked around in broadcast and in two channels. *crickets* I tossed on my team leader cap and about two hours later I finished the SF with an 8 person team. Yeah, Freedom is just so overcrowded everywhere that you can't find teams to do what you want.
Right, but your comments about boomboxing seemed to be in reference to server lag and the load indicators. Boomboxing and other emotes are probably some of the things that contribute the least to server load.
|
And on that note it looks like you're arguing that boomboxing doesn't contribute to server lag at all while at the same time saying that it does very little to contribute. You'd be right in the first part it doesn't contribute to server lag because the music can be controlled locally on your own computer. But you said that it contributes the least to server load meaning that it is doing something but that should be general lag not server lag.
i would expect 100 people standing around Atlas Park boomboxing to add less to server load than 50 people fighting Rikti on the Mothership. |
At the time I did this there were two people who did not crash at the same time everyone else in a group of about 16. The two people who didn't crash were playing on much better computers than everyone else in the group. One of them was actually running 3 separate accounts on his one computer. My computer at the time could barely handle two accounts.
To be fair, I think most of the people are 'attacking' the CONTENT of your posts.
|
If you can't grasp the BASIC ERROR in your argument, then this is all probably pointless |
Now I have to question your reading comprehension. |
And BTW your comments could be seen as the equivalent to yelling at someone who bumped into you on the street saying "What are you blind!?" only to turn around and see the person is holding a white cane. Everyone has flaws and it's not really nice to point them out like that. I was actually in special ed classes for 9 years of my education so yes I'm going to it personally when someone sees fit to make fun of me for my poor education.
Man, I could go out and start teams and thus solve my problem, or I could go on the forum and endlessly debate the context of words to mind numbing levels and tell people how wrong they are on things completely irrelevant to me getting on teams. What to do. What. to. do. Oh right....
Rial, give it up. You're really making a fool of yourself and the only way for this thread to go away and to save yourself any further embarrassment is to stop posting.
Where to now?

don'T attempt to read tHis mEssaGe, And believe Me, it is not a codE.
Music is client side, just like any other noise in the game. And I can pretty much guaranty that the boombox, with it's eleven sides to it, does not create more lag than a costumed character. Heck one wearing nothing but speedos is more for the computer to draw than the boombox.

*dives into Paragonwiki*
There it is.
Game /emote drum and /emote drumlow will no longer play sounds (They were impacting performance too much). This is a temporary change to address performance. Look for drum sounds to return in a future build. |

It is by caffeine alone that I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning. It is by caffeine alone that I set my mind in motion.
Wow, I appear to have missed an amusing hissy fit by deciding I didn't care to come back to this thread a couple days ago.

I can remember there was a patch note somewhere about the Drum emote that they had to edit it because it was causing undue lag to the server when people used it.
*dives into Paragonwiki* There it is. Well, "Lag" and "Performace" are probably two different things, so I'm more than likely wrong. :P |
Posi has a good blog about the difference between Lag and Frame Rate, Frame Rate being the likely performance issue in this instance.
Yeah, that's probably what the patch notes mean. I just thought it said 'changed due to lag' before I looked it up and found it.

No the reference to the server load is how it effects the general lag on any given individual computer.

Now i'm not going to say that boomboxes have no effect on server load; after all, it does have to track the player's status and pass along the bits to tell your client he's boomboxing, but that's near enough the same as doing nothing in terms of load. i'd expect that it has almost no detectable effect compared to the character standing there idle.
You certainly appeared to be claiming that activities that are almost entirely handled client side were a significant source of server load, not just for your personal client. The two are not even vaguely equivalent.
Moving on...

Anyway, we started with discussion of how to find teams and wandered into an off-the-wall discussion of server load.
I'm curious if the OP was able to find one or more global channels that were helpful in finding teams. This is information that would be useful to many.

I unlocked my alpha slot, did the weekly strike target, did a Lady Grey TF (with your help of course, never would of found the team if I hadn't gotten such quick responses in here thank you.), and a Rikti Mothership raid. |
You were saying about Freedom not being overpopulated??? It's completely full right now, as in no one else can get on Freedom. Not down, there's no maintenance right now, just full. Not the first time this has happened either but it is the first time without there being some sort of event going on like Double XP weekend and/or free account reactivation.

Issue 20 has been live for a week now, why would that have any effect on how many people are online. That would make sense if it had been happening all week long but only for 1 day and at the end of the week? Where's the logic in that?

Why would Issue 20 be having any affect on how many people are online??? um, because it's popular? I think that would explain all the people online. And no, you wouldn't expect the crowds to be on "all week long". Most people don't play as much on weeknights.
